MILTON MILLS — The Friends of the Milton Free Public Library invite all Milton high school students to participate in the 6th annual “Fun Fan Fiction” contest. Students can change an established work of fiction, add a character, change the ending, clarify a point or otherwise enhance the story. Submissions should include a copy of the book jacket (the synopsis of the book)and a copy of one or two pages from the book (to ensure the entrant keeps in the writing style of the original author. The student should also include a brief summary of the changes made with the (at least) two-page work.

The Friends will judge each submission based on originality, how the student’s piece “fits” with the story, and how true the student stays to the original author’s “voice.” The Friends of MFPL will also base their judgement on how closely the young writer follows spelling and grammar rules.

Submissions will be accepted at the Milton Free Public Library until Feb. 8. Winners — and prizes — will be announced at Nute High School during “Nute Week” (Feb. 18-22).
